- the switch 661 is switched to an off state in response to the off signal from the drawer power supply 62 , thus disconnecting/interrupting the start-up circuit.
- power to the drawer power supply 62 is interrupted, and the drawer power supply 62 is shut off.
- standby voltage which is supplied from the drawer power supply 62 to the inverter 65 , is interrupted. Accordingly, the consumption of standby voltage may be reduced.
- the consumption of standby voltage which is always supplied to the drawer power supply 62 and the inverter 65 , is eliminated, and the time it takes to convert the drawer power supply 62 from an off state to an on state is reduced because the voltage held in the capacitor 662 is supplied to the drawer power supply 62 at the point at which the switch 66 is moved to the on position.
- a refrigerator including driving means allowing that a drawer provided at a lower side of the refrigerator is automatically drawn out, and having a mechanism allowing that the driving means is drawn in and out with a drawer.
